Just to underline something: multifoliaterose did give 5%. What’s perhaps unusual is that he gave it in one swell foop.
IIRC, Americans give about 2%/year on the average, which implies it isn’t all that unusual to give twice that much.
I doubt it’s possible to stop seeing the untested effectiveness of most charities once you’ve seen it.
I meant 5% of disposable income, i.e. once you’ve already paid for a living place, food, tax, car etc. This probably equates to 2% gross.
